1. ““It is established that a transfer by a stockholder of his stock to a financially irresponsible person, with knowledge that the bank is in a failing condition and made with intent to escape the statutory stockholders’ liability will be held to be null and void. Foster v. Row, 120 Mich. 1 ( 77 Am. St. Rep. 565 ). The intent to avoid liability may be inferred from the facts and circumstances surrounding the transfer and this would be true notwithstanding the testimony of the appellant, Martin, that the transfer was made in good faith, to discharge obligations owing by Mm to his wife, and not for the purpose of avoiding liability.” McCaslin v. Albertson, supra.”
